I have searched the forum for frostwire problems, and found this problem several times unsolved. First, I'm new (today to sabayon) but used various linux OS for years. My problems is I have installed frostwire numerous times using sulfur but have not been able to start it via cli or menu. While it is listed in the menu it is missing an icon. Portage is unable to compile it. I have searched the forum and internet and have many sabayon users complaining and have tried all the suggestions but to no avail, has anyone been able to install and run frostwire lately? Help appreciated in advance.

have you heard that the closed source application 'limewire' has been shut down. perhaps this is part of the problem. I haven't used any Gnutella clients in like 5 years but I also was wondering if 'frostwire' works even if 'limewire' was shutdown. please keep us posted. I only use torrent clients now. Go Go utorrent for linux, godspeed to ya.

allthough limewire is shutdown,the Gnutella network still works.on Windows for example, i run limewire turbo, and i still can download stuff, but the connection isn't at his full speed anymore like it used to.Limewire, or any other P2P-program that uses the Gnutella network are not working anymore the way it should be.

the best way to download movies, games, mp3 etc. is still Usenet and bittorrent.

you may follow the last suggestion, since in my system, frostwire works ina good manner. I have no problems with frostwire in sabyon, mandriva, openSUSE, gentoo and i use frostwire, instead of limeware also in windows seven. all workin without problems.
